Jessica Morgun has spent most of her life in and around Saskatoon, Treaty Six Territory, where she currently works as a high school art educator at Aden Bowman Collegiate. She holds a BEd (2006), an MA in Religious Studies from Regent College (2012), and an MFA from the University of Saskatchewan (2017). She has been a practicing artist and teaching visual arts and related courses for over 15 years.

Her work is drawing-based, site-specific, and relational, often involving interviews or personal objects. She explores the potency of objects and materiality, focusing on the nature and meaning of objects in everyday life, their human and non-human atmospheres, and the role of memory and perception in shaping reality. Her drawings reference shadows left by missing objects or present detailed monochrome renderings of personal items, rocks, and ruins. Her ceramic work is based on descriptions of missing objects, resulting in sculptures that feel both familiar and strange. More recently, she has created augmented reality filters for social media that invite viewers into contemplative time. Many of her projects evolve over time and may include interactive or performative elements.

Morgun has exhibited in Saskatoon and across Western Canada, including a collaborative exhibition with Tamara Rusnak at the Art Gallery of Regina; solo exhibitions at the Lookout Gallery (Vancouver) and Harcourt House (Edmonton); group shows at Neutral Ground (Regina), Chapel Gallery (North Battleford), and The Mann Art Gallery (Prince Albert); a billboard project with Paved Arts (Saskatoon); and several artist residencies. Her work has received generous support from SKArts and the Canada Council for the Arts, and in 2019 was awarded the Jane Turnbull Evans Award from the Saskatchewan Foundation for the Arts.
